Frejon, although not popular in the country, is a super delcious Easter recipe traditionally eaten on Good Friday.

Frejon which was originally brought to Lagos, Nigeria by the returning slaves from Brazil, who settled in the Portuguese quarters is a coconut bean dish made from black beans, coconut milk and white sugar (optional). The mix of protein and coconut milk in this recipe is totally yummy.

Frejon is a paste-like/pudding often served with toasted garri and fish stew.
